Earliest Ottoman documents mentioning the church and an existence of an Armenian community here were from the 13th century. Since no known data has been found on when the exact construction began, it is likely that it continued as a new building, since it was said to be consecrated in the 18th century. It was then burnt down.[1]
Armenian settlers from Armenia constructed a new church in 1820, which was demolished during the 1928 Chirpan–Plovdiv earthquakes. It was shortly later rebuilt. A fire happened on 13 June 1946, which burnt all church furniture inside.[1]
On 6 October 1947, the foundation stone of the last church was laid. On 2 May 1948, it was consecrated. It was burnt 3 times during communism in Pazardzhik. In 1969, it was demolished due to the then construction of the bus station.[2]
The first groundbreaking of the church was made on 4 July 2005. The consecration took place on 18 December 2011. At the consecration, a holy stone was laid in the altar of Etchmiadzin Cathedral.[3]
